13 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least two bendable sensing elements are triangular-shaped with non-uniform width along the foldable display.

3

3. The foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least two bendable sensing elements are trapezoidal-shaped with non-uniform width along the foldable display.

4

4. The foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least two bendable sensing elements are resistive material or capacitive material.

5

5. The foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sensed values are resistance values and the resistance values of the at least two bendable sensing elements differ in a first direction of the foldable display.

6

6. The foldable apparatus of claim 5, wherein the resistance values of the at least two bendable sensing elements differ in a second direction of the foldable display.

7

7. The foldable apparatus of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to obtain the location and the angle of folding of the foldable display based on resistance values of the at least two bendable sensing elements in the first direction and the second direction of the foldable display.

8

8. The foldable apparatus of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to obtain the angle of the folding based on changes of the resistance values of one of the at least two bendable sensing elements along an axis of the folding.

9

9. The foldable apparatus of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to obtain the location of the folding based on changes of the resistance values of one of the at least two bendable sensing elements.

10

10. The foldable apparatus of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to obtain an occurrence of the folding of the foldable display based on changes of resistance values in the first direction of the foldable display.

11

11. The foldable apparatus of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to obtain the angle of the folding based on changes of the resistance values in the second direction of the foldable display.

12

12. The foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to render first content at a left side of the location of the folding and render second content at a right side of the location of the folding.

13

13. The foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the at least two bendable sensing elements comprises a top sensor in a first layer of the at least two bendable sensing elements and a bottom sensor in a second layer of the at least two bendable sensing elements.

15

15. The foldable apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sensed values are capacitance values and the capacitance values of the at least two bendable sensing elements differ in a first direction of the foldable display and the capacitance values of the at least two bendable sensing elements differ in a second direction of the foldable display.
